It's best not to dwell on the germs that get washed into the basin every day – just keep on top of the cleaning regime and you’ll be fine
Every day: Get in the habit of wiping down the sink down after each use and limescale and grime won’t have a chance to build up.
Reaching awkward spots on basins: use an old toothbrush to get to hard-to-reach areas, such as behind taps.
Tackle built up grime with an all-purpose bathroom cleaner – make sure you work it into the base of the taps, overflow and plughole and give the plug and chain (or waste stopper) a go over with the toothbrush, too. Rinse all cleansers off thoroughly with clean water, and if you’re feeling energetic, a buff with a paper towel will leave it looking five star.

I use a nylon scouring pad as a soap dish on my bathroom sink. Every couple of days when the pad gets "gunky" with the soap drippings I just turn on the hot tap and scour around the sink with the soap on the pad and it cleans it well enough to hold me over until the weekend or so when I can give it a proper clean.
